5. Learned counsel for opposite party no.
Learned counsel for opposite party no. 2 does not dispute the correctness of the Versus Counsel for Applicant(s) : Prashant Kumar Singh, Amit Singh Counsel for Opposite Party(s) : Govt. Advocate, Nilish Anand Onkar Nath Nigam .....Applicant(s) State Of U.P. And Anr. .....Opposite Party(s)
submission made by learned counsel for petitioner or the correctness of the documents relied upon by him. He submits that opposite party no. 2 has no objection, if the proceedings in the aforesaid are quashed. 6. Learned counsel for petitioner in support of his contention has placed reliance on the judgments of Hon'ble Apex Court in the case of Narinder Singh Vs. State of Punjab reported in (2014) 6 SCC 466, Yogendra Yadav Vs. State of Jharkhand reported in (2014) 9 SCC 653 and Parbatbhai Aahir Vs. State of Gujarat reported in (2017) 9 SCC 641 and has submitted that the petitioner and opposite party no. 2 have settled their dispute through compromise and as such the opposite party no. 2 does not wish to press the aforesaid case against the petitioner. Opposite party no. 2 is ready to withdraw the prosecution of the petitioner and in view of the compromise, no fruitful purpose would be served if the prosecution is allowed to process further. 7. From perusal of the record, it is apparent that the parties have entered into compromise and have settled their dispute amicably and it is highly doubtful if the ingredients of the offence as alleged are made out. 8. Be that as it may, considering the facts and circumstances of the case and the submissions advanced by learned counsel for the parties regarding the compromise entered into between the parties; the compromise between the parties be accepted and further taking into account the legal position as laid down by the Apex Court in the case of Narinder Singh Vs. State of Punjab (supra), Yogendra Yadav Vs. State of Jharkhand (supra) and Parbatbhai Aahir Vs. State of Gujarat (supra) the entire proceedings of the aforesaid case is hereby quashed. 9. With the aforesaid observations/directions, the present 482 Cr.P.C. petition stands allowed. September 3, 2025 Virendra A482 No. 7065 of 2016 2 (Syed Qamar Hasan Rizvi,J.)
